Christian prayer is a covenant relationship between God and man in
Christ. It is the action of God and of man, springing forth from both the Holy
Spirit and ourselves, wholly directed to the father, in union with the human
will of the son of God made man. Catechism of
the Catholic Church 2564.
Most of us take Christian prayer
according to Bible or according to the teachings of the church or according to
the teachings of saints for granted.
Most of us do not realize that Christian
prayer is a covenant relationship with GOD which can never be broken as long as
we live on this earth. First of all we have to understand the meaning of
Covenant.
Covenant in the Bible means an agreement between
God and his people, in which God makes promises to his people and, usually,
requires certain conduct from them. In the Old Testament, God made agreements
with Noah, Abraham, and Moses.
Only Christians have covenant prayer
relationship with GOD which is not ordinary but extraordinary. This is the main
reason that most of the miracles happen in Christian community and through
Christian community to other religions.
Christian prayer has got power built in
to bring forth any miracle great or small. We have to understand that GOD
requires from us 3 things 1. Faith 2. Joy and 3. Peace.
If we are having faith we can experience miracles.
If we have Joy our inner confidence in GOD increases and when we are at peace
devil cannot come close to us.
To have faith, joy and peace we have to have
fellowship with GOD everyday as we have fellowship with our family members.
More we know JESUS more we will do everything to please Him and to stay united
with Him. More we are in prayers more we will have faith, joy and peace in our
life.
Christian
prayer is always inspired by the author of it that is Holy Spirit. Without Holy
Spirit inspiring us we cannot write anything about prayer or about God. Let us
understand that every prayer inspired by Holy Spirit will lead us to GOD.
